Mine Your Own Business: A Documentary About the Dark Side of Environmentalism is a documentary, produced by filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, which investigates controversial proposed mining projects in impoverished villages. Their main focus in the film is the village of Rosia Montana in Romania. There, McAleer and McElhinney interview western environmentalists who oppose the project as well as the local people that are in favour of the project. The movie portrays western environmentalists as wealthy elites who are working counter to the interests of the local people.

[edit] Film financing

The film project was initiated by the Canadian mining company Gabriel Resources Ltd., who provided 80% of the film's funding [1]. The film has also received funding from the Moving Picture Institute and support from the Institute of Public Affairs, Australia.
